About Rohit C.

I’ve transitioned across varied roles in the Information Security domain, beginning my career at the Audits & Assurance end of the spectrum; gradually transitioning into managing the enterprise wide implementation of a SIEM product and then moving onto the operational end of a Security Operations Center managing cybersecurity incidents followed by helping businesses identify the right technology and products for their cybersecurity requirements. and then building the capabilities of a Fintech startup to get them PCI DSS certified.My current role as the Risk Leader & CISO has me building the cybersecurity capabilities & address risks of one of the largest cross border currency operators in the world, when I’m not at work I volunteer time at the BCI India Next Practice Think Tank which happens to the world’s fourth and India’s first Think Tank dedicated to Resilience and Business Continuity.I have received appreciation from the Government of India and Government of Thailand for my help in identifying security vulnerabilities in their cyber infrastructure and have also been featured in the Continuity & Resilience Magazine as a “Next Generation Practitioner” As a result of the diverse experience I have in both my professional and voluntary undertakings it has provided the ability to manage multidisciplinary projects and granted me the unique ability to speak both tech and exec.Outside of the professional realm, I enjoy cooking, watching re-runs of \"The Office\", reading books on both on technology and otherwise!
